Yun Yi has lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for five years and is extremely familiar with the forest environment. At least from the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest to the small town where soul masters gather, Yun Yi can be said to be familiar with this area by heart.

“No matter how fast a rabbit runs, it can never outrun an eagle.”

Thinking of this, Yun Yi flapped his wings and climbed upwards, flying towards the town in the distance at the fastest straight line speed.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, Yun Yi felt a strong fluctuation of soul power not far ahead. Yun Yi looked towards the small town that was not far away, and slowly dived down towards the place where the soul power was fluctuating.

When the altitude decreased, Yun Yi's eyes glowed purple, and he instantly saw many fallen Spirit Hall members.

"How dare I tease the Spirit Hall's tiger whiskers at this time of year? It can't be such a coincidence." Yun Yi murmured in his heart. A familiar figure appeared in his mind and then continued to dive down.

When a man with long blue hair entered Yun Yi's sight, Yun Yi's face sternened, and he secretly said in his heart, "It is indeed Tang San."

"Tell me, what actions are you taking here at Spirit Hall?" Tang San pointed at the Spirit Hall disciple with his hammer.

The seriously injured disciples seemed to be too badly injured to make a sound. When Tang San was holding a hammer and preparing to kill the last seriously injured member of the Spirit Hall, Wuji suddenly appeared in Yun Yi's hand and he threw it towards Tang San in mid-air.

A stream of red and blue light suddenly shot towards Tang San.

For Tang San, who has been practicing hidden weapons for many years, listening to the sound to determine the position is the most basic. Feeling a strong wind coming towards him, Tang San was suddenly startled, the hairs all over his body stood up, and he jumped backwards in an instant.

A huge roar sounded, and as the smoke and dust dissipated, an unfamiliar stick in front of Tang San was deeply inserted not far ahead.

Tang San looked at the stick with serious eyes. The forest was his home ground, but the Blue Silver Domain had no perception of the unknown enemy's attack. It was his hearing trained for many years that allowed him to detect Yun Yi's presence. Combined with the direction from which Yun Yi shot the stick, Tang San instantly looked in the direction from which Wuji shot, and a familiar face suddenly appeared in front of Tang San.

“Xiao San, do you have any spirit bones to help you this time?” Yun Yi looked at Tang San and smiled.

Tang San looked at Yun Yi, and the shadows of the past reappeared in Tang San's mind. Tang San did not hesitate at all, and his figure floated and stepped on the ghost shadow to shoot towards the distance.

Yun Yi looked at Tang San who was fleeing into the distance and did not chase after him. He knew very well what his goal was.

"This kid is quite decisive." Yun Yi murmured in surprise as he watched Tang San's receding figure.

Yun Yi was not surprised that Tang San appeared here. Although the Spirit Hall's action of clearing the area was very safe, the purpose of the action was also very clear. What else could the purpose of this action of clearing the area be to eliminate the hundred thousand year soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest?

Since Yun Yi could think of this, Tang San could naturally think of it as well. However, what surprised Yun Yi was that Tang San just ran away like that.

“It shouldn’t be.” Yun Yi thought secretly in his heart. He didn’t think that Tang San would give up Xiao Wu, not only because of the relationship between them, but also because of the hundred thousand year spirit ring and spirit bone. However, Tang San actually ran away.

Yun Yi didn't think much about it. No matter what Tang San did, he just needed to be careful. As for whether Tang San's feelings for Xiao Wu were true or false, it didn't matter to him. Tang San didn't have the ability to snatch Xiao Wu away from him and Bibi Dong.

If it was like in the original novel, with the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python dragging Jue and Gui, Tang San would still have some room to maneuver when facing the Soul Sage and Soul Douluo. But now Bibi Dong is here, even if Tang Hao brings Tang San to snatch Xiao Wu away from Bibi Dong, they may not be able to do so.

Yun Yi looked around and saw that this was the only way to the town. All Yun Yi had to do was sit back and wait.

Yun Yi looked at the vigilant expression of the Spirit Hall member not far away from him, and took out the Pope's Order from his soul guide.

The members of Wuhun City who saw the Pope's order relaxed instantly and shouted to Yun Yi with difficulty, "Elder."

"You should heal yourself first. It's not very peaceful here, and I can't concentrate on healing you." Yun Yi said softly.

Then Yun Yi threw some medicinal herbs from his soul guide to him, and waited quietly by the side. It was not that he was unwilling to heal this member, but he was afraid that Tang San would seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. In the forest, Tang San's Blue Silver Domain perception was very strong, and even Yun Yi was inferior to him in this regard.

Soon, Yun Yi felt a large amount of soul power fluctuations, and a pink figure came towards him, behind it were Bibi Dong and many members of the Spirit Hall.

Gui Mei was right. Speed ​​has a limit. Even if it is faster, can it be faster than the skill of teleportation? In the original novel, Tang San only used the limited number of teleportations to deal with the pure and agile Bai He. Xiao Wu, who has this soul skill, must have fewer restrictions.

Bibi Dong, who was chasing after Xiao Wu, saw Yun Yi's eyes light up and said, "Xiao Yi, stop her!"

Looking at the many Spirit Hall members behind Xiao Wu, Yun Yi also understood why Tang San turned around and left.

Yun Yi also grabbed towards the pink figure that was rushing towards him. Xiao Wu watched as Yun Yi's hand did not stop. When Yun Yi was about to touch her, a pink light flashed, and Xiao Wu instantly appeared three feet away from Yun Yi.

"Shorten the distance of teleportation and increase the frequency of teleportation." Yun Yi said secretly in his heart.

Whoosh...

At the same time, several subtle waves also shot towards Yun Yi.

“Hmph, I knew you wouldn’t give up easily.” Yun Yi snorted lightly, and his mental power locked firmly on Xiao Wu. His fourth soul ring instantly lit up, and a golden force field instantly spread and enveloped Xiao Wu.

The powerful gravity instantly caused Xiao Wu to sink to the ground. Tang San's hidden weapon was also affected by Yun Yi and fell in mid-air. The strong gravity even made it difficult for Xiao Wu to operate her soul power. When Xiao Wu flashed again, she was still within the range of Yun Yi's gravity.

Yun Yi also flashed in front of Xiao Wu in an instant, grabbed Xiao Wu's neck, and injected several soul powers into Xiao Wu's body. The rabbit ears on Xiao Wu's head representing the possession of martial spirit disappeared instantly, and the soul power was sealed by Yun Yi.

"Brother San... hurry up..." Xiao Wu looked at the steel needles scattered on the ground and realized Tang San's presence. "Xiao Wu!" Tang San's heart trembled in the dark, and his face was extremely tangled. He knew very well that he would not have a chance if Bibi Dong was here, but if she didn't show up...

Xiao Wu was still struggling in Yun Yi's hands, but no matter how hard she struggled, she could not pry open Yun Yi's arms that were as strong as cast iron. Suddenly, Xiao Wu kicked Yun Yi in the lower body, but Yun Yi reacted quickly and raised his knee to block it.

“Xiao Wu, I advise you not to struggle. If you make any unnecessary movements, I will go after Tang San.” Yun Yi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiao Wu gradually calmed down. She glared at Yun Yi with hatred and said, "Take your dirty hands away."

Yun Yi smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Wu, I am not interested in the two taels of meat on your body. I am not Tang San, so I would not be interested in a rabbit. But I am very curious, did you give birth to rabbits before you cultivated for 100,000 years? Rabbits are the most common thing I see in the Star Dou Great Forest. I can never eat them all. Could they all be your disciples? Are you doing this to your third brother?"

Xiao Wu, who was already being pinched by Yun Yi's neck, blushed even more when she heard this, and shouted at Yun Yi, "What does it have to do with you! A soul beast transforming into a human and retraining is equivalent to a new life."

At this time, Bibi Dong walked to Yun Yi's side and knocked on Yun Yi's head. "You are so young, what's in your head?"

Bibi Dong looked at Xiao Wu and said calmly, "Little girl, although I know you are a soul beast, I don't want to use force on you because you look like a little girl. I advise you to sacrifice yourself to Xiao Yi..."

Before Bibi Dong could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xiao Wu, who looked at Bibi Dong with resentment and said, "You want me to sacrifice myself? You're dreaming! It was you who killed my mother!"

Yun Yi gave Bibi Dong a look, then slowly approached Xiao Wu's face and whispered in her ear, as if it were the whisper of a devil.

"Your Holiness the Pope is fully capable of hunting down those two beasts just now. Your performance determines their life or death. I have let your third brother go just now. In fact, I can kill you and then absorb your spirit ring and spirit bone, but considering that we have known each other for a while, I decided to give you some respect." Yun Yi chuckled.

Hearing this, Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly widened, her face full of confusion and she didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Yun Yi continued, "Xiao Wu, you should have met Tang San's father, right? Tang Hao is a Titled Douluo. He was a Titled Douluo when we were still studying at Notting College. What do you think he was thinking? Can you guess what year Tang Hao's ninth spirit ring was made?"

Xiao Wu's pupils shrank suddenly, and she looked at Yun Yi and said with all her might, "Don't you just want me to sacrifice myself? I won't believe you."

"Xiao Wu, you have to be clear about one fact. My sixth soul ring is from a 70,000-year-old soul beast. I can actually kill you and then absorb it. With His Holiness the Pope here, I won't be in any danger. I told you this because I wanted you to sacrifice yourself, but what I said was also an objective fact. Tang Hao has been eyeing you for a long time, and the reason he didn't make a move is just because Tang San couldn't absorb your soul ring. Obviously, he has the same idea as me and wants you to sacrifice yourself."

"Hmph, I think you want to use my third brother to trick me into sacrificing yourself. It's impossible for you to absorb my spirit ring at your level." Xiao Wu looked as if she had seen through Yun Yi.

Yun Yi smiled and showed his spirit ring, and said to Xiao Wu, "Do you think I can absorb your spirit ring now?"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu could no longer maintain her composure as she looked at Yun Yi's soul ring. She could clearly feel the aura coming from Yun Yi's sixth soul ring, which was from a powerful soul beast of about 70,000 years old. At this moment, Xiao Wu really believed that Yun Yi could collect her soul ring at the Soul Saint level.

Xiao Wu looked at Yun Yi with a complicated expression. After a moment of hesitation, a trace of determination flashed in her smart eyes and she said, "If I sacrifice you and this woman, will you let Da Ming and Er Ming go?"

Yun Yi looked at Xiao Wu with a smile, nodded slightly, and said, "Of course, I promise you."

Xiao Wu looked at Yun Yi. She certainly didn't believe what Yun Yi said. She also understood that Yun Yi's second martial soul still lacked many spirit rings. However, if she brought trouble to Da Ming and Er Ming because of her, she would never have peace even if she died. Sacrifice seemed to be the only thing she could do.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu's voice showed some grief and indignation, "I hope you keep your word."

Bibi Dong looked at Xiao Wu in surprise, and secretly admired Yun Yi's control over people's hearts.

Xiao Wu looked at the confident Yun Yi, her heart dead and her face bitter. She knew very well that Yun Yi agreed to her conditions just to give her psychological comfort. It didn't matter whether Yun Yi could fulfill his promise or not. What mattered was that Yun Yi knew very well her relationship with Da Ming, Er Ming and Tang San. She didn't want to be a tool used by Yun Yi to threaten the people around him. At this moment, she had only one choice, which was to sacrifice herself. It was the only choice she could make.

"Make a sacrifice. If you don't plan to make a sacrifice, I don't know if you will be killed all at once." Yun Yi said with a smile as he looked at Xiao Wu in front of him.

"Despicable!" Xiao Wu looked at Yun Yi and said angrily, but she didn't mean to waste any time. Her martial spirit instantly possessed her body, and a dazzling red light suddenly spread from the center of Xiao Wu's eyebrows, turning into a circle of red light that instantly spread out. Wherever the red light passed, everything was rendered bloody, and everything also stopped at this moment.

"Is this the power of sacrifice? Even my breath was suppressed in an instant." Bibi Dong said in surprise. It was her first time to witness the power of sacrifice.

Tang San, who was secretly using the Blue Silver Domain to perceive, felt his body tremble slightly. He could feel a familiar breath in that powerful soul power fluctuation.

"Xiao Wu!" Tang San shouted in his heart, clenching his fists tightly, but there was nothing he could do.

At this time, Xiao Wu's whole body had turned red, a crystal clear dark red, and red flames began to burn from Xiao Wu's body. It was not a fire, but a very special blood flame. What was burning in it was Xiao Wu's blood, life, and the 100,000 years of cultivation.

The blood flames burned more and more intensely, gradually turning from red to dark red, and Xiao Wu's body also gradually faded during this transformation process, like a red crystal that became more and more transparent.

All the red expanded into a huge circle and slowly shrank, all surrounding Yun Yi.

All Yun Yi could feel was a slight warmth, but there was no energy shock like when absorbing a soul ring. A circle of jumping blood flames was quietly rhythmically surrounding their bodies, and the soul power in Yun Yi's body was rising at an extremely terrifying speed.

As the surging blood flame ring suddenly retracted, in an instant, a series of explosions erupted around Yun Yi's body. Just as Xiao Wu's body gradually disappeared, his original six soul rings appeared one by one, and the blood-colored seventh ring condensed around him.

At the same time, a ray of blood suddenly shone on his left leg, and a red leg bone flashed and disappeared.

Seventy-one, seventy-two, seventy-three... until it stopped at level seventy-four.
